"This manual contains a 12-week curriculum designed to incorporate a multi-sensory approach to developing the critical and basic aspects of Theory of Mind (ToM). The activities are designed to be used with children aged 5-9, who have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or who have related social challenges.

By building on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy principles, this book shows how teaching ToM to young children can help them to better understand the emotions and actions of people around them. This curriculum has been designed to enhance the development of ToM and skills such as imitation, joint attention and pretend play. These building blocks help social development in children with ASD and help them navigate relationships and social situations. As well as practical advice and supplementary materials such as worksheets and photocopiable flash cards, this book includes reinforcement activities to be carried out at home with parents and care givers.
